Day Seeks

Its also the second day of the Matamata Soaring Centre comps.
Check their scores at http://www.soaringspot.com/msc2013/

A change of Task from the Task A an AAT based on yesterdays task.
To a B Task which send them out East instead.
The forecast weather didnt quite pan out by 12:30 so we called the change with a 30 minute delayed start to 1:30pm.

A slight tail/cross wind had the grid team on their toes. Small delays due to a tailwind gust were required.
But all were launched without major incident.

The B Task is a 2 hour 15 minute AAT task for both classes.

NE to Waiohau 70km leg with  20KM circle
South to Waipunga 86km leg with a 20km circle
Back to a control point at Teawa Camp with a 10km circle

Point to point 216.9 km
min 136.1km
max 309.4km

Launch was completed by 14:20
Check glider progress at  (select Taupo)

We should see first gliders home around 16:45, just in time for "'tea and medals"'

Keep it up
